Some advice for when you’re writing and find yourself stuck in the middle of a scene:

• kill someone
• ask this question: “What could go wrong?” and write exactly how it goes wrong
• switch the POV from your current character to another – a minor character, the antagonist, anyone
• stop writing whatever scene you’re struggling with and skip to the next one you want to write
• write the ending
• use a scene prompt
• use sentence starters
• read someone else’s writing

Never delete. Never read what you’ve already written. Pass Go, collect your $200, and keep going.

This is the literal best writing advice I have ever read. Period.

Kill someone.
